Yeah, yeah, tasers, dead people, whatever.


And, once again, it's useful to hear what the pro-life, compassionate conservative, Blogging Tory contingent has to say:

Crazy Man dies at Vancouver Airport
...

LAST WORD: A little perspective, folks?

So apparently there have been 16 taser related deaths in Canada over the last four years.

That works out to 4 instances per year.

Four deaths? There are probably more people killed every year in Canada... by lunchboxes falling out of the sky from highrise construction sites.

You know, I'd calm down a bit if I were you, Neo. You may want the position of Canada's most despicable, right-wing blogging dickhead but, sadly, that position's already filled. And I don't think she's going to give it up without a fight.

How about 18 cop-caused deaths per year since 1992 in BC alone?

Neo is fighting hard to be a puddle of green slime, but with any luck he'll realize that ambition shortly.

I suppose there's a question. I know the opposition's been calling for a ban on tasers and so forth, but I'm wondering if that's the right focus here. Seems to me they should be hammering at police procedures, which will cause fatality regardless of the weapon in question, and the tendency to protect the abusing officers, or cover up incidents entirely.

It's awful stuff either way.
